The retail pricing is the only standard pricing that could be used to make such a calculation. I know your point is valid, but the "decent used price" varies from person to person. Also, many people are very likely to buy new accessories at retail price

I see you are new to the B&S forum, I'll leave it at that....

In the meantime go post the lens and accessories on the B&S at retail pricing and let me know how that goes...

As someone already bought a few about a month ago (I think the same price, maybe $50 less back then), I can tell that
600 RT sells for 550 or a little less than that
BG E11 makes you ~250
24-105 is never more than 800 now. It's a go quick or never go situation. 800 it's gone quick, 810 it sits there forever. Yes I mean new.
Including everything even CC cashback, that's about $2550 for a 5D III, in which case you also want to sell everything at their maximum price you can. I tend to go for the number of $2700.

Well, but I got a free upgrade to 600 RT (from 580 EX II, sold it on amazon for 380 and gone in a day), and a $2500ish 5D III (a month ago it was easier to sell them). That's enough for me. This time I will pass.

Right. But for somebody who planed to buy all these items, it looks like a really great offer.
The 5D III with 24-105 here is about 4000 € (not $). This offer looks like getting the BG and half the flash for free. That looks nice to me, too.

It should be far less than that. "Realistic" prices - not Canon fantasy land prices - should put this complete bundle around $4,000 US (max), and the euro prices correspondingly lower depending on exchange rates. I hope, one of these days, Canon will wake up, but as long as people are willing to pay nonsense prices, they will remain high.

A couple of these guys just made approx $1500 if they spend the time reselling everything. Figure you can make approx $300 per kit....consider 20K+ points on the CC and other "hidden" benefits of doing this it's not a bad days work if you have the patience to resell.
